HOOKED: Davo’s Chris Locke caught this rare 55cm cale trevally with a prawn lure.
GONE FISHIN’ with Davo’s
FISHING has been red hot over the last week, and the warmer temperatures have really been firing the fish up.
Whiting are out and about on both the beaches and the lower reaches of the Maroochy River, and they are biting a lot better when the tide’s coming in.
Flathead are also in huge numbers right throughout the river and as usual, soft plastics are producing the best results.
Around the river mouth, tailor are feeding during the early morning periods, and casting surface lures around has been a popular method.
On the beach, tailor are coming through in schools, so be patient as they’ll have to swim past your bait eventually. Mixed in with the tailor has been some whopping big bream that are well over the 40cm mark.
When the conditions are flat enough, using soft plastics off the beach is a great way to catch a few flathead, and the best thing about soft plastics is you can cover a lot more water by walking a couple of metres up the beach every time you cast.
The offshore scene has been nothing short of awesome.
Murphy’s Reef has been a popular reef so far, with plenty of snapper and other reef fish getting caught around this area. If you don’t have the option of a big boat, the close in reefs are fishing really well just on dark, with good sized snapper using the low light to their advantage.
For your chance to win a $50 gift voucher, simply bring your best catch in for a photo and you’re in the draw for Davo’s Fish of the Week.
